PLEASE READ FULL PROFILE BEFORE APPLYING and INCLUDE LENGTH OF STAY APPLYING FOR, DATES AVAILABLE AND SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF.

We (myself, JJ and my partner Richard) have two very lovely and unique properties where we grow food and practice permaculture principles and sustainable living.

Sydney
Our urban property is right next to the beach on Sydney's northern beaches. It is a largish property which we are working at transforming into a lush abundant permaculture sanctuary.

Here we have chickens, a great vegie patch, a big aquaponics set up in a converted swimming pool, a subtropical food forest, 3 european bee hives (warre style) and 3 native bee hives and are moving soon onto creation of the wild orchard and bush tucker native nibbledom and nectary!

Kangaroo Valley
Located about 3 hours south of Sydney is a much bigger property, which we call Winderong Farm. It is a working farm which we have recently purchased, with cattle, sheep, horses, pigs and chooks. So some new things for us with some big learning curves, which we are super excited about. We also have an abundance of space to grow veggies, fruit trees, bush tucker and nuts. This place is huge, with lots of room for farming alongside really beautiful wilderness. There is a magnificent fresh creek running through the centre of the property coming out of the National Park which supplies our drinking water and lots of lovely spots for swimming.

We host workawayers at both places, usually between 2 and 4 people stay at each place along with us. We cannot be in both places at once so we love to host people who are reliable and responsible and can take on tasks without always being supervised. All going well, you can choose to be at one property or the other or spend time at both. We generally transport people between the properties.

We are easy going people, don't watch much TV, don't smoke or drink. We ONLY take helpers who are happy with NOT smoking or drinking while they stay with us. We have a strictly NO DRUG policy in both places. Any breech of this and you will be required to leave the property.

We eat very healthily, non-processed, food, with lots of vegetables and only happy humane animal protein. We grow a lot of our own food and purchase other food from organic sources. We prefer helpers who eat in a similar way or are happy to help prepare this kind of food.

Arten von Arbeit

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

A lot of travellers enjoy our lifestyle. They realise how easy it is to grow your own food, to live healthily, simply and more sustainably. Many also begin to learn to surf or improve their surfing abilities. Those who are interested in preserving food and fermenting will learn a lot as will those who just want to learn to eat more healthily. In Kangaroo Valley you have the opportunity for lots of bushwalking, star gazing (no light pollution), bird watching, native animal spotting and generally enjoying a beautiful piece of very peaceful wilderness.

Arbeit

The main kind of volunteering help we need is:
growing fruit and vegetables
taking care of seedlings
looking after chickens, sheep, cattle, horses, pigs (depending on location)
making paths
making compost
preparing garden beds
watering plants
taking care of fish and an aquaponics system
helping take care of bees and harvesting honey
preserving food
cooking food (vegetarian, fish and chicken)
Landcare/bush regeneration
Generally the help is about 5 hours a day on the weekdays and about 1 hour a day on weekends

Gesprochene Sprachen

english, a little bit of spanish, some hindi

Unterkunft

In Sydney, we have three rooms available, two with a view of the sea. One of the rooms has its own bathroom and small kitchenette. This is reserved for helpers staying 6 months or longer. The house is big and there are usually 5 or 6 of us living here. It looks out over the best beach in Sydney and we have surfboards and body boards you can borrow, along with our bicycles. We are a 3 minute walk to the bus stop for catching buses into the city. We have good internet access but it is only available between 7:30am and 9pm.
In Kangaroo Valley we have rooms in a shared house, a "Glamping tent" and a "glamping bus"! The location of our farm is super beautiful and peaceful. We allow you to borrow the farm vehicle once a week for an outing. Aside from that there is some awesome hiking on our property and lots to explore.

Was noch ...

We are looking for helpers who are genuinely interested in a healthy lifestyle, particularly permaculture and are enthusiastic about growing their own food or raising their own animals. We are happy to host people who are reliable, self responsible, ask questions, take notes, remember to do their tasks without being reminded, take initiative and get really involved with the projects going on at our properties. You need to be happy to get your hands dirty (clean up animal manure, dig in the worm farm etc) and are easy going and friendly. We prefer NOT to host people who just want to treat our house like a hotel and go sight seeing the whole time!

Agnete was really great to host as she was super enthusiastic about learning things. She asked good questions and took notes.

Each time we use them we think of her! One word of fore-warning, Agnete likes everything to be really clean and hygienic! Our household is sometimes a bit rough on this sometimes, so Agnete helped us get a bit better at this! At first this was a bit challenging for us, but we got used to her ways and came to appreciate her "clean freak" side! No one has ever done such good after dinner cleanups as Agnete! Just in case you are age-prejudiced, don't be! Agnete is a very young 50+ year person. She is young at heart and very energetic.

If you want to learn permaculture this is the place you want to be. The main permaculture principles of "people care, earth care and fare share" can be seen both trough their house, garden and life. Gardening is a passion, so it did not feel like work. I loved the outdoor practical classroom where JJ told us what, how and why and patiently… read more answered all the questions. I stayed a month and I really learned a lot, but I still have so much to learn...

Deb stayed with us for 3 months. She was an excellent helper! Deb was wonderful at taking any new helpers under her wing and showing them the ropes. Without being prompted she made sure everyone understood how things worked, where things were and what the usual procedures were. She was all round great and reliable at doing her allocated tasks, as… read more well as going the extra mile. She spent more time fishing (and actually catching fish!) in our pool than anyone else has, by a long way! She prepared delicious meals, tidied up well after herself, did extra cleaning and was generally very pleasant to live with! Deb has a really wide range of skills from administrative skills and people management to taking care of chickens and making bricks or soil blocks.....and of course fish whispering! Thanks Deb, happy to have you back any time!

Highly recommended! I stayed with JJ & Richard for 3 months over the Sydney 'winter' and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Looking back on the experience I realise how much we did and how much I've learned. Work was varied - and never felt like work at all, the food was so yummy and it was always a challenge of how to cook those prolific seasonal… read more Chila Cayotes (in joke)!

JJ & Richard are authentic, genuine, generous people who show by their actions how permaculture can work so beautifully.

Give at least a couple of months to this placement, you won't regret it.

We had the best time staying with JJ and Richard.

This was our first workaway experience and we stayed one month with JJ and Richard and we had a great time there. The house is more than beautiful and the beach is great for surfing.

The garden is gorgeous and there is always something to do in there. They teach you a lot about gardening and how to grow your own vegetables in an ecofriendly way. All the food you get their is super fresh and yummy. Its also nice that you can bring in your own ideas and recipes because we all took turns during the week. We made a really nice avocado dressing everyday and hopefully that will always remind you of us :D

Vom Host für Workawayer (William)

We have hosted Will a couple of times! Once he came on his friend's recommendation and once because he was escaping a workaway experience that didn't fit! Anyway Will is great fun to host. He follows instructions well, likes to think about how things could be done better and to use his problem solving abilities. He has a good memory mostly, which… read more is kind of lacking in some other folks of his generation! He happily does extra tasks when asks and makes a good effort with his share of the cooking and cleaning. He also loves a good discussion on challenging topics!

Brooke was really fun to host. She is one of the friendliest and most open and honest helpers we have hosted. She is really easy going and did lots of extra stuff around the house and in the kitchen when we were done in the garden for the morning. She follows instructions well and also takes feedback really well if corrected or reminded about… read more something. I would highly recommend her!

JJ and Richard must be the greatest hosts in all the land! Sharing is second nature to them, and because of this there is a warmth that permeates the whole home. The work is fulfilling and not overly strenuous, and if you've got an interest in gardening you will strike gold staying here. A pantry full of organic food, rooms with ocean views,… read more surfboards aplenty...you'd be hard pressed to find any qualms with their place.

I can not say enough about JJ and Rirchards' hospitality and knowledge of permaculture. My boyfriend and I spent around 8 weeks with them and found it to be such an enjoyable experience. We were both sad to leave as they welcome you into their home as if you were part of the family. Their beautiful permaculture sanctuary sits overlooking Bungan… read more Beach so you wake up to the sound of the waves and sunrise everyday, and the view never gets old.. neither does the honey supplied by their wonderful giving bees!

The work is 5 hours a day and JJ is willing to really put in time with you so you are not only helping but really learning how and why everything is done. You get to learn about chook keeping, worm farms, bee keeping/ honey harvesting, aquaponics, planting, harvesting, compost, fermentation, rat trapping, and the list goes on. If you are interested in it JJ and Richard will make sure they share as much information as they can on any topic.
Meals are fun at Bungan Beach as you alternate cooking days, and get to use your harvest to pick what will be made for dinner and try out different recipes. The kitchen here is amazing and they generously supply you with endless organic foods and ingredients. There is so much that you learn once the harvest is brought into the kitchen to, which is really great. You learn what to do if you were to grow in volume and how not to waste your work making different ferments, pestos, chutneys, cashew cheeses, mead, and canned veggies.
While visiting we were allowed to use their surf boards and bikes in our free time and Richard even took us out surfing to give us pointers and push us into waves as we were both beginners which was so kind and helpful.
This workaway was not only such a fantastic learning experience but an all around fun time with great energy and a warm welcoming family. We would recommend it to anyone, and hope to be back someday!

Vom Workawayer (Katie & David) für Host

Our 5 weeks stay with Jayatma and Richard was incredible! They are so welcoming and you immediately feel comfortable when you walk into their home.
The welcoming was nice and not rushed-we had plenty of time to settle into our ocean view bedroom and time to become familiar with the house and the gardens.
The work is very interesting. Everyday we… read more learned something new and Jayatma is always eager to answer questions and explain how things work.
Some of the jobs we had included watching over the chickens and cleaning their coop once a week, feeding fish daily, harvesting trout from the aquaponics pool, harvesting honey from their bee hives, weeding, turning compost, treating planting, preparing garden beds with new soil/compost, and preparing dinners.
The work begins at 8:30, and finishes around 12:30, then everyone works to prepare a group lunch.
Dinner is generally ready around 6:30, and is prepared by helpers and rotates on a daily basis. (One night you might cook, the next you might clean, or another day you might help the person who is cooking).
In your spare time you can go to the beach which is super close to the house. It's about a 3 minute walk down a hill. The beach is quiet and peaceful and is a great spot for surfing.

Jayatma and Richard, we cannot thank you enough! Without this opportunity, we would not have been able to prepare our van in order to be able to discover this amazingly beautiful country! We will always remember the experience and would love to come back and visit one day. We learned so much about your way of life and will cherish it for a life time.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Gaëlle)

Gaelle and Constance were great helpers. They are very friendly and willing. Happy to do even dirty tasks in the garden. They loved looking after seedlings (baby plants as we called them) and were very good at transplanting. They enjoyed all garden tasks and were also very good in the kitchen. They are reliable and can work well without… read more supervision. They were a pleasure to have at our house. They are welcome back any time.

Vom Workawayer (Gaëlle) für Host

They are a very nice couple. The location and the house are so beautiful and a perfect place to stay. The work is very interesting and we learned a lot. The organic food is so delicious. We stay 3 weeks and we were never boring. Sydney is near the house (1 hours in bus, less with a car). Thank you for all, it was a good experience.

Vom Workawayer (Doug) für Host

J and family were great hosts and I really enjoyed my time with them. They were very generous and welcomed me in immediately. The location was amazing and the work was very reasonable (I'm a possum-proofing pro now!). I learned a lot about permaculture and gardening! The food was healthy and delicious and I would highly recommend staying with… read more them if you get the chance. Good luck with the garden transformation! Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Doug)

Doug was great. He is very easy going and fit really well into our household. He is able to turn his hand to any work given....he made a super possum-proof enclosure for my verandah! He is a good cook and managed to come up with some creative dishes, despite my restricted diet. He is welcome back here any time! Jayatma

Vom Host für Workawayer (Maurice)

Momo (Maurice) was great fun to have at our place. He is an easy going relaxed guy who is really easy to get along with.
He worked hard (and surfed hard!) and did whatever was asked of him. He is welcome back here anytime! Thanks Momo! Jayatma
